PROGRES
Head of Research: Jan Monkiewicz
The PROGRES name stands for Research PROGramme on REgulation, Supervision and legal issues in insurance. It focuses on questions related to regulation, supervision and international co-operation of insurance and financial services as well as other legal issues of importance. The research programme manages The Geneva Association’s co-operation with the supervisory authorities around the world and in particular with the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS).
The annual PROGRES seminars address topics that are meant to advance the regulatory and legal debates as well as trade and international co-operation issues. Since 1983 they provide an annual forum and focal point for up to 60 specialist inter-disciplinary participants – private-sector practitioners and experts from representative organisations, academics, officials from governments and intergovernmental organisations – to discuss and debate in an informal way.
